Cleco BL-2B BL Series Spring Balancer | 5.2' Cable Length | Plastic Housing

When a small assembly tool needs to stay supported above the bench instead of being lifted and set down through every cycle, the Cleco BL-2B BL Series Spring Balancer provides a practical suspension point for tools in the 0.5–1.8 kg / 1–4 lb load range. Its 1.6 m / 5.2 ft nylon rope length gives operators usable vertical reach at compact workstations while helping the tool return to a predictable position after each use.

The BL-2B uses an impact-resistant plastic housing and a resilient spring mechanism to keep the balancer light, simple, and well matched to repetitive fastening or light tool support tasks. A 360° rotating mounting eye helps reduce twist in the suspension path, while the adjustable cable stop lets the user set the tool’s resting height for faster reach, cleaner bench organization, and less unnecessary handling during production or repair work.

Applications:

• Light assembly lines: Suspending small fastening tools so operators can reach, use, and release the tool with less repetitive lifting.
• Electronics and appliance benches: Keeping screwdrivers positioned above the work surface during repetitive screwdriving and component assembly.
• Automotive subassembly: Supporting lightweight tools used for interior trim, brackets, panels, and low-weight component installation.
• Repair and rework stations: Keeping commonly used tools organized, elevated, and ready for quick access during inspection or service tasks.
• Training cells and shared work areas: Helping maintain consistent tool placement where multiple operators use the same bench setup.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the load range for the Cleco BL-2B?
  A: The BL-2B supports tools weighing 0.5–1.8 kg / 1–4 lbs. The total suspended weight should include the tool plus any attached bit holder, hose, cord, or small accessory that hangs from the balancer.
• Q: How is the BL-2B different from the BL-1B?
  A: The BL-2B covers the higher 0.5–1.8 kg / 1–4 lb load range, while the BL-1B is used for lighter tools. Both models use plastic housing construction and a 1.6 m / 5.2 ft nylon rope length.
• Q: What is the purpose of the external rotary knob?
  A: The external rotary knob adjusts spring tension so the balancer can be matched to the suspended tool weight. Correct tension helps the tool return without dropping too low or pulling too aggressively upward.
• Q: Can this balancer be used with assembly screwdrivers?
  A: Yes, the BL-2B is commonly used to support lightweight assembly screwdrivers above a workstation, provided the complete tool setup stays within the 0.5–1.8 kg / 1–4 lb capacity range.
• Q: Does the BL-2B use wire rope?
  A: No. This model uses nylon rope with a 1.6 m / 5.2 ft length. Cleco’s larger BL Series steel-housing models use cable construction with a listed cable diameter.
